YOUTUBE: IDEA 1

Youtube has become the #1 website in the world to upload and share video.
I heard through the grapevine one day that you could make money from your
youtube videos, a lot of money, well only if your video got a lot of views
of course! So, I did some research.

Before the launch of YouTube in 2005,
there were few simple methods available for ordinary computer
users who wanted to post videos online.
With its easy to use interface,
YouTube made it possible for anyone with an Internet connection
to post a video that millions of people could watch within a few minutes.
The wide range of topics covered by YouTube has turned video sharing into
one of the most important parts of Internet culture.

As a member of the Youtube partners program, they typically pay 1/3 cents to 1 cent
per view. As you get more consistant viewers, they pay a higher percentage.
Some of these posters can make a very significant income off their videos.

For example, a video with 1,000,000 views x .0033 = $3300. This is the minimum you
will make if you're a yourtube parter.


As digital media majors, we should find a way to penetrate the youtube playground.

So what makes a youtube video succesful?

Talent?

Humor?

Truth?

Instructional?

Bold?

Sexy?

What made, "Chocolate Rain" so succesful that it has generated 41,019,303 views to date?

"It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time," with 1,554,951 views.

"Keeping your refrigerator stocked will get you many women," with 2,689,224 views.

"Evolution of Dance," with 125,201,330 views.

"Charlie bit my finger - again," with 117,925,826 views.

"Crazy Baby Movies," with 3,169,420 views.

I shall devise a plan:

How many separate films will it take to achieve this so called, "YouTube success!"

What content will the world enjoy, how many babys must I find to make a buck? Let the journey begin!
